If we talk about this season, I admit that Leverkusen has the longest unbeaten record compared to other teams. However, previously there were teams that also had an unbeaten record throughout the season and if I'm not mistaken they were Arsenal. Leverkusen had 44 unbeaten matches based on the references I read, while Arsenal had 49 unbeaten matches in the 2003-2004 season.

Leverkusen deserves high appreciation, especially regarding their performance this season, they deserve to be proud after winning the Bundesliga and stopping Bayern Munich's dominance. It's hard to repeat a great season like this in subsequent seasons, but Leverkusen is starting to become a fearsome team in the Bundesliga and Europe.

I agree with you that in terms of the mentality shown by the two teams that will compete, Leverkusen shows a better mentality than As Roma, we see how they continue to work hard to ensure they don't lose, like when they faced Borussia Dortmund. In fact, if they lose then it won't affect them at all, because they have already secured the Bundesliga title this season. However, they don't want to just be defeated and they will keep trying until they blow the final whistle to signal the end of the match.

AS Roma is indeed better since being handled by De Rossi, but when compared to Leverkusen, they are still under Leverkusen. with no intention of denigrating Leverkusen at all, but that is the fact that we can see now. Leverkusen is not only capable of showing a good game in the Bundesliga, but they have been able to show it in almost all competitions this season, so it is natural that many make them the biggest favorites.

If you look at how they play and what a winning mentality they have I think it's hard not to choose Leverkusen in that match. I agree with what you said that Roma is a good team but I think Leverkusen has the capacity to win the game. IMHO I see Alonso implementing tiki-taka with some changes that put a lot of players in the attack line. This will put strong pressure on the opponent's defense. You can see their match against Dortmund. I thought Dortmund would give Leverkusen their first defeat with a goal scored in the 81st minute. But they remained optimistic and were able to score a goal in the 97th minute. I think that shows their mental quality.

The record they set its no longer only for Bundesliga but if i dont see bad the other day i see them now has in their hand the record for the whole top football. I mean no other team in history has more no lose long run than them.

But in this kind of tournament you can go out without losing, take that in care, you can lose in penalties.....

Bayer Leverkusen set a record in the Bundesliga as they went undefeated this season to win the title. But this record of theirs is not so easy because there are 38 matches in a season. In these thirty-eight matches, the big team, the small team, their own home field, the home field of other teams have to go through many challenges, but losing in some matches is a very normal thing. Although this is normal, Bayer Leverkusen has not lost any match in the Bundesliga, it must be said that it is a great team achievement.

I don't see Bayer Leverkusen having any difficulty getting into the semifinals now, in fact they have still managed to maintain an unbeatable record throughout this season in all competitions.
We must not only look at a few matches, but we must measure the overall strength of the team from the matches they play.

Roma is indeed a strong team, they have made quite positive progress since being handled by De Rossi and indeed the possibility of Roma being able to beat Bayern Leverkusen as you said is still there, especially in the Europa League semifinal match, the team will definitely give their best performance.
However, I look at this realistically and the percentage of Roma being able to beat Bayern Leverkusen is quite small, Bayern Leverkusen has everything better than Roma so I think there will be no surprises, Bayern Leverkusen is still the team that is the favorite this season to win the title .

Yes, in this case Roma not only has the goal of getting the UEL title but also wants to get a ticket to compete in the champions league but the problem is that de Rossi job is very hard to be able to get rid of Xabi Alonso's troops like it is very impossible.
Bayer Leverkusen is currently the strongest club in the UEL as there is a very big chance of beating Roma, even though Roma's performance is very far compared to Leverkusen.
In fact, if we talk about Roma wanting to get a Champions League ticket in the coming season, they could try to get 4th place after failing to beat Leverkusen in the UEL.
So even though Roma will have to admit defeat after being eliminated by Leverkusen, Roma still has hope in Serie A to get a Champions League ticket.

Actually, Bayern Leverkusen performed in Europe League dominance with being draw result since knock out round until qualifying to semifinal round. After 100% winning ration in group phase, Bayern Leverkusen got difficult defend the all winning matches at knock out round since 16 of round holding draw by Qarabag on first and second leg before winning at extra additional time. The same result on quarter final round after winning first leg against West Ham United and difficult to defend the winning trend on second leg after holding draw although is enough made Leverkusen qualified to semifinal round.

I don't think Roma get difficulty for beating Bayern Leverkusen in semifinal, comparison with Roma performance in Europe League back to back won over Milan on quarter final I think has chance Roma give the first loss for Leverkusen in this season.

Leverkusen no longer have the burden of undergoing Europa League matches this season, after their success in winning the Bundesliga title, of course, the European League will now be the main focus of Xabi Alonso's squad, in terms of performance and mentality possessed by Leverkusen, of course no one doubts if they can reach the final round and maybe win the Europa League this season,  But indeed the semi-final match will be a difficult match for Leverkusen after previously their journey looked easy to reach the semi-finals this season, Roma have high motivation to repeat their achievements last season that made it to the final round, but I think of course it would be unlucky for them if they had to meet Leverkusen earlier this time.

I think we have seen how Leverkusen can crush Dortmund, Leipzig, Bayern Munich and also Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, and if we compare the quality of the 4 teams of course still better than Roma at the moment, so I think Leverkusen will not be too difficult to beat Roma later to reach the final.

I think that the winner of this pairing will be the champion... Bayern look very strong, but Roma have a lot of experience in European Cups... Especially since they managed to win in two matches against Milan... It's hard for me to say who will be stronger, Bayern or Roma...

Bayer Leverkusen this season is difficult to stop, when they almost lose they will definitely continue to fight until they end in a draw, as in the last few matches Leverkusen has always been able to equalize in the final minutes. Their drive to maintain their unbeaten record will probably continue, and Xabi's determination this season is to chase the treble Winners title.

So it is certain that the AS Roma vs Leverkusen match will be a repeat of last season's semi-final duel because last season Leverkusen was eliminated by AS Roma with a 1-0 aggregate. But now Leverkusen has a chance to get revenge. This match is certainly interesting to watch because we know that Leverkusen's performance this season has been very impressive, coupled with the revival of AS Roma with new coach Daniele de Rossi which has made the Europa League semifinals even hotter.

Overall, we have 5 matches remaining in the Europa League, 4 semifinal matches and 1 final match which will determine which team is truly strong and worthy of winning the Europa League title this season.
In about week the first leg match will start and this will be the initial match for the team with its superiority to be able to get more favorable aggregate for the settlement of the second leg later.

Marseille vs Atalanta, the first leg match will give Marseille the advantage on paper because they are playing at home, this is good opportunity for them because in the second leg Atalanta will have the home advantage and Atalanta is not weak team.
Marseille must win big in the first leg if they want to have good chance of qualifying for the final, the second leg will be big pressure for Marseille if they don't win big in the first leg.
Roma vs Leverkusen, in this first leg Roma has the advantage of playing at home but Leverkusen in the away match also performed quite well and I think this match will be unlikely for Leverkusen to lose.
In the Roma vs Leverkusen match, I don't think we need to discuss it much because it is clear that Leverkusen will definitely be the team that will qualify for the final, moreover there is second leg match which will provide home match for Leverkusen.

It's quite difficult indeed, but Leverkusen have been doing that since the start of the season and they have succeeded so far, there is only a little more journey they need to go to complete a full season unbeaten record in all competitions for the Leverkusen team so from what they have done throughout this season there should be no more doubts about them.

In the Bundesliga, perhaps Leverkusen will not face a tough opponent again and in the DFB Pokal final Leverkusen also did not meet a tough opponent, only in the Europa League it will be a difficult step for Leverkusen, facing Roma and looking at the semifinal match, I am quite optimistic about Leverkusen.

I don’t know how important it really is to finish the season without a single defeat. I understand that this will be an excellent record, but think about the fact that Bayer will have difficult and important games in the EL, and if Alonso has a choice of what to do, give the players a rest before the semi-final or final match, or play with the main team only for the purpose of in order to maintain a wining streak that won’t affect anything in the end, I think the choice here is obvious.

In terms of squad depth, Leverkusen is indeed far superior without any doubt. predictions without analysis, Leverkusen will be able to get rid of Roma, but for this first leg match you have to be careful in choosing to bet on the victory of one of these teams because in my opinion Roma could hold the match to a draw when competing at home with great self confidence and a strong mentality can inspire the players to try to be more careful not to concede in the match.
I fully support your prediction that betting on BTTS is a more comfortable betting option even though the odds at 1x2 are more tempting but the risk is too big.
and if someone insists on betting on Leverkusen winning with odds @2.06, I think it also makes sense because the odds they get are in accordance with the risk they choose.

I'm just more confident that this match can end in a draw and both teams will score equally because they both have a strong urge to not want to be left behind in the aggregate score.

Leverkusen has not been defeated and that is why people are asking when Leverkusen will experience its first defeat and they are worried that Roma will break Leverkusen's unbeaten record because Roma is not an ordinary club, in the Europa League Roma has different characteristics and is able to give the best performance in this important competition is to be able to bring Roma appear in the Champions League next season because in Serie A Roma seems to have no hope of being in the Champions League zone because they have just been beaten by Bologna at home so I think Roma will fight as hard as they can in the Europa League and their ambition is very strong , having solid players is the hope that Roma can provide fierce resistance against Leverkusen.

Their match will certainly be very interesting for us to watch in the Europa League, seeing Leverkusen who are undefeated will definitely make everyone believe that Leverkusen will win the match again against Roma but it's not that easy, Xabi Alonso is the type of coach who has a strategy that is not easy for the club to read. The opponents and players also understand what the coach is directing and can sometimes provide a surprise in the last minute by scoring a goal. They always strive for a draw as an unsatisfactory result for Leverkusen and always refuse to lose.

Knock out matches are different than a long league and this perfect season of Leverkusen in Bundesliga will be meaningless for Leverkusen if they can not beat Roma in two semi final matches. If their semi finals come to penalty shoot outs, everything can happen because on penalty spots, luck plays very important role for winner and loser. Training is important but at penalty spot, pressure is huge and players can easily lose control of their mentality and accuracy no matter how many times they practice shots from this spot in training.

Roma are considered as weaker than Leverkusen but if they have proper tactics, they can actually challenge Leverkusen in semi finals. Leverkusen are not a big name in Europe like Real Madrid so Roma will have less stress in these matches and can start these semi finals with confidence about their own ability.

Leverkusen has perfect run in bundesliga. It makes roma to be even more carefully in fighting against leverkusen soon. The club will have very strong intention to defend its record. Winning the game against roma is a must considering that if leverkusen is targeting europa league this time. Since leverkusen has won bundesliga and club is now even having burden anymore to fight against roma soon. BTW, here's the odds for the upcoming game.



Roma is not leading the upcoming game even though it was also performing quite well in serie a. It's caused by the consistency from the club remain the big question for roma. It was losing against bologna recently and its chance to qualify for UCL next season is getting even smaller than before.
Im hoping leverkusen to kick roma out from europa league.

It's obvious that if btts is likely to happen caused by it's hard to imagine roma will win the game with clean sheet against leverkusen at home game. I would like to pick leverkusen in the upcoming game.
Btts is an alternative choice for this too.

De Rossi has less coach experience than Xabi Alonso and a defeat last week in Serie A is a warning for him. He is like Xabi Alonso last season, created impression with Leverkusen but lost to Roma and Mourinho. Roma and De Rossi will not play two semi final matches to lose, but to win Leverkusen, they must beat a very strong opponent, it's not easy.

Leverkusen have some more matches to end this season with a perfect unbeaten record within a single season. They have 4 more matches in Bundesliga, one final match in German cub and 3 more matches in Europa League. Totally Leverkusen need to play up to 8 more matches and don't lose any of them to achieve that perfect record.

When the season comes to the end like this, players will be very tired and have physical and mental pressure so 8 matches sound not too many but Leverkusen actually need to go through these matches not easily.

For 4 remaining matches in Bundesliga, Leverkusen don't need to win any of them, avoid loss is good for their record. 4 matches in Europa League and German cub are most important for Leverkusen to win two more titles.

For Bayer Leverkusen keeping their unbeaten record is as important as win the trophy for them and that's why they will comfortably settle for a draw and still not have to bother if they win because that alone will help them get to gain i two ways one of which is in the fact that they will be able to maintain their unbeaten record a s aswell be able to still get to share points and still be in the race to winning the trophy this season.

Leverkusen still remains the favour for the semi finals and hopefully they will get to win the finals too for me at this point they are my favourite for the Europa trophy this season and i will be very glad to have them win the finals with their unbeaten record as it will be one record amongst many. I have actually wanted Liverpool to win the Europa in the fact that they are the toughest team earlier but then they lost their chance after the game against Atalanta and since then my favourite became Leverkusen as they are actually the best currently.

Roma is one team that's actually trying to be a threat in the Europa but then i doubt if they are actually going to have a chance at the trophy this season not with their inconsistency which i have seen too often this evening so i still have Leverkusen as the favour Even if they gat to meet Roma in the finals I'm optimistic they will win.
